Fuel Injection System

Image
The combustion engine in our cars would not function without fuel. Supplying this essential fuel into the combustion chambers are the fuel injection systems. Many attributes of your car are highly influenced by the type of fuel injection system its engine has, mileage, ride quality, engine life, etc. A fuel injection system is a mechatronic circuit that is the combination of mechanical and electronic circuits to supply fuel of ideal volume into the engine. Anil Since the fuel injection system is such a vital component, engineers around the globe have evolved it to its most efficient and effective version. In this day and age, while there are various types of fuel injection systems available, the broad categorization brings them down to four main types: Single point fuel injection, Multi-point fuel injection, Sequential fuel injection, and Direct fuel injection. Let’s go through these categories one by one and understand their functionality. Anil Single-Point Fuel injection or Throttle-...

ABS Braking Facts

Image
ABS Braking Facts Q.What is the function of EBD with ABS? In the Anti-Lock Braking system, when the brakes are applied, an electronic control unit doesn’t let the wheels lock and keep them intermittently rotating. During rotation, due to road conditions, different speeds, and loads, all four wheels need a different amount of brakeforce to bring them to rest. The Electronic brakeforce distribution detects the brake force required by each wheel and supplies just as much as needed to keep the vehicle balanced. Q.What are the mandatory safety features in cars in India? The mandatory safety features in cars in India are ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, dual front airbags, rear parking sensors, hill hold control, seatbelt pre-tensioners, and speed sensing door locks. Q.On what kind of surfaces ABS doesn’t work? ABS can be ineffective on gravel surfaces, icy conditions, or very wet surfaces. This happens because when the ABS partially releases the barkes from the wheels to let them co...

Construction Structure of an Air Brake System

Image
What Is the Construction Structure of an Air Brake System? Air brake systems have a two-stage air compressor with gearbox shafts or a crankshaft. Here is what happens inside the unit: This system intakes air from the atmosphere, compresses it and delivers it to the storage tank through a valve.  When reservoir pressure attains maximum degree, the unloader valve opens. Then, the compressed air is directly released into the atmosphere. All four wheels with brake chambers have a diaphragm, which forces air pressure. This force operates the camshaft that runs the lever and applies brakes. Each brake chamber connects to a brake pedal, and an air filter fits between the brake valve and storage tank. Below is a step-by-step procedure for the functioning of air brakes: How do Air Brake Works ? Step 1: When a driver starts a car's engine, the brake compressor activates as it functions by the engine. Then, the brake compressor starts compressing the atmospheric air.  Step 2: Through the...

Principle of Air Brake System

Image
Principle of Air Brake System If finding how do the air brakes work, it is explained in simple words below: Compressed air inside the air brakes activates the brake system.  This system consists of an air compressor, air filter, unloading valve, air reservoir, brake valve, and brake chamber. These compressors allow atmospheric air to flow through air filters and compress it. This airflow is reserved in storage tanks or reservoirs.  Air from this reservoir flows to several sections of the automobile that functions on compressed air. A section of compressed air flows into the brake valve, which a driver controls. A driver handles the braking intensities of a vehicle in emergencies. Pedal Released : As a driver releases brake pedals, the master cylinder in this system shifts to its original position. It happens due to the piston spring, which results in the dropping of air pressure. This function allows releasing of brake shoes from a brake drum releasing brakes. Pedal Depressed ...

Advantage of Air Brake System

Image
Advantage of Air Brake System   There are several advantages of an air braking system. Here they are as follows: The air brake system is an effective mechanism than the other braking mechanisms. It allows easy designing of chassis as the components of air brakes sit conveniently. It requires only air as a primary medium which is available in abundance. Air brake system ensures safety when applying brakes suitable for trucks and heavy vehicles. This system ensures better control and reduces stopping distance. The air brake system comes with a flexible hose connection and easily stores air at high pressures. This system is not prone to leakage as air is the major component. It is not the case with hydraulic brakes that use fluid to function. Air brake allows less wear and tear on components. Air fluid stores potential energy as it is compressed. So, it can control the force applied. Compressed air can be used for horns, tyre inflation wipers, and other accessories. Air line couplings...

Air Brake System Uses

Image
Air brake systems are a modern form of breaking system for vehicle security.  When the driver is transporting thousands of pounds in heavy duty vehicle, the most important component breaks of that vehicle. Hydraulic brake oil may be leakage. So there are air brakes in large trucks, buses and tractor-trailers, there is plenty of air available in atmosphere so use the air brake to safe people,drivers and roads on large vehicle.Air brake is a significant component of heavy duty vehicles, such as trucks and buses and is used to increase vehicle safety. It is necessary to know how to work and troubleshoot and maintain the problem of air brake system. Air brake system work by using compressed air instead of hydraulic fluid to break the vehicle and parking brake. There are many air circuits in the system, and parking brakes can also be used as emergency brake system. The combination of drum brakes and disc brakes, or both can be used in the air brake system. Afisenci and security of ...

Air Brake System,Components and Working

Image
Air Brake System,Components and Working Heavy duty vehicles transport in tons of goods and thousands of people from one place to another. Since these vehicles carry bulky goods that can compromise the balance of a vehicle while taking tricky turns, it demands a special type of braking system.  It uses compressed air pressure, unlike hydraulic braking systems that contain fluid that loses control when they leak.  Air Brake System   An air brake system or a compressed air brake mechanism is a friction brake mechanism for automobiles. In this system, compressed air that presses on a piston applies pressure to the brake pads to stop or slow down a vehicle. Here the foot pressure functions against a tensile diaphragm inside a brake chamber. Large and heavy vehicles, especially multiple trailers, use this system. Besides, semi-trailers, trucks, buses and railroad trains also use this system. Dual Air Brake System   A dual air brake system consists of two different and sepa...

Breaking System Componants

Image
You know that when you press down on your car’s brake pedal, the vehicle will slow down. Simple, right? But what parts of the braking system make stopping and slowing down possible?  Learning about the parts of a car brake system can help you better understand your vehicle, signs that components need to be replaced or repaired, and when it's time to seek out maintenance services. Keep reading to learn what the main parts of a braking system are and what to look for when they wear out Master Cylinder   The brake master cylinder is the first, and perhaps most important, component in your braking system because it sets the rest of the system in motion. The master cylinder is activated by pressing down on the brake pedal, which pushes a piston through the cylinder to force brake fluid through the brake lines.  In other words, the master cylinder creates hydraulic pressure that pushes the brake fluid down to the brake components on each wheel. The brake fluid reservoir sits on...
